Formation of Plural Nouns

If a word is masculine singular, change the last letter to an i.  If a word is feminine singular, change the last letter to an e if it ends in a, or if it ends in e, change it to an i.

Singular to Plural Nouns
Masculine
-o -i
-a -i
-e -i
Feminine
-a -e
-e -i

Note:  Some nouns ending in -co and -go may or may not insert an h before changing the o to i.  There is no gerneral rule for it.  All nouns ending in -ca and -ga insert an h before changing the a to e.  Nouns ending in an accented vowel do not change for the plural. (la cittą (city) becomes le cittą)  There are some masculine nouns that end -a, and these nouns change the -a to -i in the plural: il programma, il poeta, il pianete, il pilota, il poema, il sistema.  The plural of l'uomo (man) is gli uomini, while the plural of la mano (hand) is le mani.
